Eric Ebron to Mitchell Trubisky: I look forward to kicking your you-know-what

Posted Nov 19, 2017
Lions tight end Eric Ebron was heading into his final year at North Carolina. People were already talking about how highly, not if, he'd be drafted. Then one day a freshman quarterback walks into the building, and starts throwing lasers. "He was on the practice squad," Ebron said, "and I was just amazed how well he threw the football." That quarterback? Mitch Trubisky. (MLive.com)
